A few minutes later, Xia Lin and the other teenagers were carried into a vast, empty yet sumptuously decorated palace. Xia Lin thought to himself that even the palaces of human royalty couldn't compare to this one. Demons were truly wealthy!
The six cages were lined up horizontally. Xia Lin looked up at the silver - haired demon sitting on the throne. The throne was so high that Xia Lin couldn't make out the demon's face clearly.
【Ding~ The target character has appeared. Target identity: The Demon King. Degree of darkness: 80. The mission of this world has been activated.】
It's like searching high and low for something only to find it by chance. So the target character was the legendary most powerful Demon King! Soon, besides the four demons who had carried them before, three extremely handsome demons also came over. They were extremely respectful towards the man on the throne.
"These are the human pets for this sacrifice. Your Majesty, please take a look and see if there's anyone to your liking," said the bespectacled demon after bowing.
The blond - haired demon behind him whispered to the demon next to him, "Mark my words. This time, His Majesty won't choose any of them either. He didn't take a fancy to any of the previous hundred or so. In the end, they'll just be given to us to play with for a while and then we'll devour their souls!"
Hearing this, Xia Lin shuddered. So this was how these demons treated the sacrificed humans. First, they'd use them as pets in bed for a while. Once they got bored, they'd eat their souls and discard their bodies without hesitation. No wonder humans loathed demons so much, yet they had to flatter them out of fear of the demons' overwhelming power. It was truly ironic!
The demon next to the blond - haired one glared at him and whispered back, "Even so, we should let His Majesty choose first. Only after we're sure His Majesty hasn't taken a fancy to any of them can we divide them up. Do you understand?"
The blond - haired demon nodded. "Yes, yes, I understand. My respect and loyalty to His Majesty are no less than yours!"
The demon on the throne opened his eyes upon hearing the bespectacled demon's voice. He looked extremely lazy, but even an ordinary human could sense that this demon was incredibly powerful... so powerful that one wouldn't even dare to think of rebelling against him!
Two of the teenagers were actually star - struck as they stared up at the Demon King. Xia Lin could hear their murmured words, "If I could be the lover of such a powerful and handsome Demon King for a while, I'd be willing to sacrifice my soul!"
Xia Lin was sitting at the edge, so he couldn't see the Demon King's face as clearly as those in the middle. Hearing their words, he felt a bit curious about just how good - looking this villainous boss was!
The Demon King was about to impatiently order his subordinates to take these humans away and deal with them as they pleased, just as he had done in the past. But this time, for some reason, his heart was pounding violently. Following his instincts, the Demon King stood up and walked down from the throne.
As soon as he stood up, his subordinates couldn't control their expressions. They were shocked. In the past, the King would always just tell them to take the humans away, but this time, he had come down. What did this mean? It meant that the King was finally interested in human pets and in love. So many charming and beautiful female demons had failed to tempt the King, yet... it seemed the King really preferred humans!
The King walked from right to left, looking at each human's face. Mundane... Boring... Average... What was this strange feeling of unease just now?
Then the King's eyes fell on the human on the far right, a seventeen - or eighteen - year - old boy with clear blue eyes and golden hair like sunlight... The King stared directly at the boy...
